BANCO D’ASSAGIO DEI VINI DI CROAZIA – LA REGIONE DALMAZIA – GENOVA -27.02.2020.

La Dalmazia, la regione della Croazia che si estende dal centro al sud dell’Adriatico, è una vera miniera di biodiversità viticola. Per tutta l’estensione, da nord a sud, si riscontrano varietà sempre diverse:
nelle aree circostanti Zara e Šibenik, le varietà a bacca nera babić e plavina.
Dall’area centrale della Dalmazia proviene il vino rosso crljenak kaštelanski, anche conosciuto con il nome medievale tribidrag – oggi riconosciuto come il vitigno dal nome più antico documentato a  livello internazionale.

La storia di tribidrag è la storia stessa della Dalmazia vinicola, dove per secoli la viticoltura marcava la vita dei contadini in ogni paese. Tribidrag era il vino rosso principale della regione e tutti i personaggi più noti della cultura croata possedevano qualche appezzamento di tale coltura. I più famosi sono Marko Marulić da Spalato, il padre della letteratura croata oltre ai poeti del Rinascimento dall’Isola di Hvar, Petar Hektorović e Hanibal Lucić. Questa stessa varietà in Italia è ben nota, con il nome di primitivo. La più famosa tra le varietà dalmate è sicuramente plavac mali, un incrocio tra tribidrag e dobričić. I migliori vini di plavac mali provengono da ripidi pendii esposti verso sud, dai suoli prevalentemente aridi con un’alta presenza di scheletro, o a volte sabbiosi, caratteristici dell’Isola di Hvar e delle altre isole della Dalmazia centrale. Plavac si coltiva anche sulla costa, come ad esempio a Komarna, vicino al fiume Neretva e alla penisola Pelješac, in vigneti sempre raggiunti dalle brezze marine dell’Adriatico.

Il più amato vino bianco della Dalmazia viene considerato il pošip, la varietà nata all’Isola di Korčula ma diffusa negli ultimi decenni in tutta la regione, molto apprezzato per la sua complessità e ricchezza. E’ molto coltivata anche la maraština, nota anche come rukatac. E’ una varietà a bacca bianca che appartiene alla famiglia delle malvasie del Mediterraneo.
La massima espressione della biodiversità viticola dalmata si può apprezzare sull’Isola di Hvar, con ben  quattro varietà locali, due delle quali saranno disponibili all’assaggio: bogdanuša e prč. Spostandosi verso sud e verso l’interno della regione, scopriremo il vino rosso della varietà trnjak e il bianco zlatarica, caratteristici e prodotti storicamente nei pressi delle città di Vrgorac e Imotski.

La base ampelografica della Dalmazia è vastissima. In questo evento conosceremo circa un terzo delle  varietà indigene presenti in questa terra ricca di storia, dove si sono incontrate le civiltà principali del  Mediterraneo: gli Illiri, i Greci, i Romani, la Serenissima e gli Ottomani. Tutti questi popoli hanno influenzato e lasciato tracce tutt’ora percepibili. La Dalmazia offre anche affascinanti panorami  naturali grazie al suo paesaggio carsico ed all’intenso colore del mare Adriatico.

Al banco d’assaggio saranno presentati i vini delle aziende provenienti da diverse zone della Dalmazia,  appartenenti all’Associazione Regionale Vino Dalmacije e all’Associazione Vignaioli di Hvar.

Questa proposta altamente divulgativa è organizzata dalla sezione ONAV di Genova.
La nascita dell’ONAV, Organizzazione Nazionale Assaggiatori di Vino, per opera della Camera di Commercio di Asti nel 1951, si deve all’esigenza di preparare adeguatamente un corpo di assaggiatori  affidabili, atti a svolgere una funzione delicata e impegnativa. Per questo vengono richieste un   complesso di doti naturali e conoscenze tecniche, oltre ad un addestramento specifico e un allenamento costante. L’ONAV si articola sul territorio nazionale, oltre che in diversi Paesi esteri,   tramite sezioni regionali e provinciali, proponendo agli oltre 11.000 soci assaggiatori un’intensa  attività di aggiornamento professionale.
Inoltre, grazie al supporto dell’Ente del Turismo di Jelsa (Isola di Hvar) e dell’Ente del Turismo della   Contea Spalato-dalmata, si potranno conoscere alcuni prodotti tipici come il pregiato olio d’oliva   extravergine locale.

MASTER CLASS: ROBERTO LEPORI – Plavac mali: the noble son of a royal vine that crossed the oceans: Tribidrag/Primitivo/Zinfandel

I enthusiastically welcomed Ivana Krstulović Carić’s invitation, the President of the Hvar Winemakers’ Association (Hvar Otok Vina), to lead the Hvar Island red wine tasting workshop. The topic was to follow the story of the original Tribidrag or Crljenak vine, linking it to his brother Italian Primitivo, in the most authentic expression of the different areas of Puglia , and to the “noble son” Plavac Mali.

On May 10th and 11th the Wine Festival of the Adriatic’s wine was celebrated: Tribidrag, Primitivo, Plavac Mali. A hug between the two coasts of the Adriatic symbolized by the common love for this wine full of emotions, aromas, pleasant sensations that has cheered to the most sublime palates, over the centuries, and has crowned and celebrated meetings and festive moments with the warm complacency of “god Bacchus”.

A generous wine with high sugars and high acids, with strong tannic presence and deep aromas of berries and flavour of spices. The strong mineral presence in the soil, makes the wine long-lived, and with indomitable character.

CANTINA APOLLONIO: PRIMITIVO DEL SALENTO IGP – TERRAGNOLO

CANTOLIO: PRIMITIVO DI MANDURIA DOP  – 14 DI TERRA

POLVANERA: PRIMITIVO DOC GIOIA DEL COLLE – POLVANERA 16 BIO

Wines of great tradition, expressions of the different areas of the territory, similar but different in the composition of the land, in the exposure of the vines, in the technique of winemaking. United, however, from the unmistakable flavor and fullness of the body and the enveloping and refined tannins.

Three different expressions of excellent quality: The TERRAGNOLO with a nose full of ripe cherry fruit, plum and blackberry and balsamic and spices . Long persistence with coffee , black fruits and coconut in the finish. POLVANERA 16, from “red soil”, rich in iron, with notes of red mulberry, delicate violet and aromatic herbs. In the finish, taste of liquorice and graphite. 14 DI TERRA, from potassium and iron soil, rich in poliphenolic structure, with delicate notes of red ripe fruits and floral sensations. perfectly balanced in alcohol, minerality and acidity. Velvet tannin and long persistence.

VINA TOMIĆ  – PLAVAC MALI BARRIQUE

The overall quality of the wines has greatly improved over the years. The best use of the wood used for refining, the yeast selection techniques and the care in the selection of the grapes has given rise to wines comparable with a good quality international standard.

Plavac Mali is a difficult wine to make. It is a racehorse, and like all thoroughbreds it  must be tamed in its most intense expressions. It is not easy to tame the tannin, the strong intensity of the anthocyanins and the high sugar content of the grapes. But the wisdom of the Dalmatian winemakers makes this wine pleasant, making velvety the astringency, sublime the aroma, fruity and spicy the flavor, and dry and enveloping the body of the wine.

ZLATAN CRLJENAK, pure Tribidrag from the Makarska area, rich in fruits and acidity. slight tannin and long persistence. FAROS OPOL, rich in minerality and deep secondary flavors. Aged in steel makes the wine easy to drink and pleasant in its balance. Sandy soils give a good degree of acidity and composure to the wine. MAIOR REZERVA is a complex and harmonious wine, with warm tones and balanced structure. Slavonian wood, where the wine matures, gives composure and pleasantness to the tannins and freshness on the palate. PLAVAC DE LUX is a wine very rich in polyphenols, with tannins still to evolve. A wine to be used with structured dishes to mitigate the strong plant presence. PLOVAC PLOŠKI is a wine made with wisdom. The use of large Slavonian barrels soften the imperious tannin very well, leaving ample space for the components of ripe red fruit and delicate white spices. A wine with great vigor, well balanced in alcohol and pleasantly harmonious in mineral components and freshness. PLAVAC MALI BARRIQUE, an unmistakable wine, elegantly structured. Soft, harmonious, long and persistent. The French oak is perfectly dosed to avoid invading the fullness of ripe fruit and black fruit flavors. Each sip highlights all the complex aromas of the wine, perfectly distinguishable. Pleasant spicy and slightly balsamic finish.

Thank you all for this unforgettable day and for the participation of all quality wine lovers.

My hope is to repeat this important event over the years to compare the successes and experiences of wine together and to reaffirm and consolidate this strong bond that binds our two countries through “the art of wine”, history, traditions and the culture that over the centuries have seen us as interpreters of fraternal and supportive friendship.

IT’S TIME FOR PLAVAC MALI FROM THE HVAR BEACHES!

This week we started harvesting the plavac mali from our island’s south slopes!

The steep southern slopes, bathed in sunlight and sea breezes, are Hvar’s most famous vineyards, extending from Zavala, Medvid Bod, Ivan Dolac and Jagodna to Sv. Nedjelja.

Despite the harsh climate, grapes from the “Hvar Beaches” are of very good quality!

The most famous wines from these positions have evocative names such as Ivan Dolac (PZ Svirče i Vujnović), named after the village famous for its beautiful pebble beaches,  Plovac Ploški (Carić), meaning “Plavac from the beach“, Medvid (Duboković) named after the Medvid Bod, a hidden beach maybe the most beautiful of all, which once was home to the Mediterranean monk seal. 

Or they may simply be named Plavac, as in Plavac mali barrique (Tomić) or Zlatan Plavac (Plenković).

VRIJEME JE ZA PLAVAC S HVARSKIH PLAŽA!

Ovaj tjedan počela je berba plavca malog s južnih padina našeg otoka.

Strmi vinogradi, okupani suncem i morskom arijom, najpoznatiji su hvarski vinogradi, pružaju se od Zavale, preko Medvid Boda, Ivan Dolca i Jagodne sve do Sv. Nedjelje.

Unatoč nepovoljnim klimatskim uvjetima, grožđe sa “Hvarskih plaža” odlične je kvalitete!

Najpoznatija vina s ovih položaja nose imena Ivan Dolac (PZ Svirče i Vujnović), po istomenom selu poznatom po lijepim šljunčanim plažama, Plovac Ploški (Carić), što znači “Plavac iz Plaže”, Medvid (Duboković) po Medvid Bodu, skrovitoj i možda najljepšoj plaži od svih, nekada utočištu sredozemne medvjedice. Ili jednostavno plavac kao Plavac mali barrique(Tomić) ili Zlatan Plavac (Plenković).

This summer, Hvar Wine Tasting once again comes to the island’s village squares. On Tuesday, 15 July, 2014 at 9pm, you will be able to taste Hvar wines in Vrboska, down by the beautiful stone bridges in the Podva area.

Vrboska is one of the jewels of the island of Hvar, with art and architecture dating back to the 15th century, when it developed as the port of Vrbanj, with an attractive mix of renaissance, gothic and baroque styles.

While in Vrboska, before the Hvar Wine Tasting, you might like to visit the  Fisherman’s Museum to discover the rich history of fishing on the island. Or check out the nearby church of St Lawrence, where you can see art by Venetian and Croatian artists, while the impressive fortified church of St Mary of Mercy offers wonderful views from its roof.

We are especially proud to have the oldest Plavac Mali vineyard on our Island, which
survived the American pest Phylloxera, a disease which destroyed European vineyards at
the end of the 19th century. We are proud to have 3 indigenous HVAR ONLY GRAPES; BOGDANUŠA, DARNEKUŠA, PARČ, to contribute to the diversity of the Wine World.

In May we will start the promotion of our Bogdanuša wines, together with Wine & Cheese Bar Paradox in Split and we will have activities on Hvar, such as Bogdanuša Workshops, Bogdanuša Night in Svirče. And many Hvar Wine Tastings this summer on our beautiful island squares.
